"Southwest Standard Time"
As it happened today, my check-in window opened at 9AM, the same time as the start of the Ding sale. When the countdown reached zero I got the BP checkbox. Two seconds earlier I didn't.
If you need a portable Ding URL, just install Ding on any computer you have access to at the moment and then PM curbcrusher. (You need your own Ding installation, but it can be removed afterwards if you disconnect from the Internet while uninstalling.)

Did you, by chance, compare the clock to the one at www.time.gov? Curious as to what the offset, if any, is.

Interesting. I've noticed that SST in the range from about 10 seconds to 22 seconds past time.gov, and I was hoping to pin it down. Seems odd that it might vary.
